1. Do I
have to be a Member to volunteer?
For the most part, no. Both members and
non-members are encouraged to serve at Metropolitan Community Church of
Toronto. Many times the volunteer experience leads to a desire for
membership. We will be happy to assist anyone who wants to begin this
process.
NOTE: There are ministries
within our church body that require church membership to participate in
their particular area of ministry.
2.
How will I know my Job Description?
You should receive a Job Description from
your supervisor outlining your duties. If you would like a Job
Description prior to beginning your position, this can be obtained
through the Resource Development Department and picked up at the General
Office.
3.
Am I entitled to “freebies” at MCC Toronto if I volunteer?
There are no guaranteed “freebies” as a
MCC Toronto Volunteer. We do our best, however, to demonstrate our
sincere appreciation for your generous service to God.
4.
Does MCC Toronto provide transportation?
No, to date we have no way to provide
transportation for volunteers. We have many volunteers that use public
transportation and are able to volunteer regularly.
5.
Can I still volunteer if I work during daytime hours?
Yes, we are happy to find flexible
volunteer opportunities. Many people volunteer in the evenings and on
weekends. On occasion, there are even some volunteer opportunities which
can be fulfilled at home.
6.
How long will I have to volunteer on any given assignment?
Our general rule of thumb is to ask for no
more than 1 year of service in any given position. This is followed by a
time of evaluation when you will be given the option to continue for
another year. Some exceptions include: Deacons, Coaches, Lay Pastors. |
